If we were actually blocking a real 1B, I would care, but we aren't. Get your best bats in the up on a daily basis. Plus this allows for whoever plays 1B to go to C in case of emergency without costing us a DH.
The Sox inability to develop guys doesn't necessarily mean they were trading for bad players. It could just mean that our player development was garbage.
I will also note that at the very least, not dealing him over last winter with the Cincy offer looks a lot worse in hindsight. I won't even go back how 2023 looks.
What exactly are you saying then? Because I have no idea with all of the extra qualifiers. Prospects are overrated. Not everyone values these guys... what do you mean then?
I just can't imagine how you look at this steaming pile of dog water and think, yes, more of that! Are there Sox fans who are that desperate for something to grab on to?
